birdstrikes-when do you return???

i've been fortunate never yet to have had a birdstrike,but a lot of my colleagues have.now on a large acft like a 747,when you suspect a birdstrike,you call up the airfield after dep to check the rwy,but at what point and under which circumstances do you make the decision to ignore the birdstrike and proceed to destination,or alternatively,to return to the field?

obviously,this is in a case where no evident damage is indicated on the instruments.

look forward to hearing your thoughts...
